Healthy Halloween Treats–17 "Non-Candy" Goodies
This year, I will be spending Halloween at my sister's house, and since she lives in a subdivision, we will be passing out "tricks and treats" for a couple of hours. I can't—in good conscience—pass out candy that will wreak havoc on little kids' bodies and cause cavities, so I've been thinking of alternative options.
After some thought, I've come up with 17 healthy treats that…
1.) can be purchased in bulk
2.) come pre-packaged or wrapped.
17 Healthy Halloween Treats To Give To "Trick-or-Treaters"
- Organic fruit leathers
- Organic bananas ("wrapped" in their skins)
- A handful of walnuts & pecans, still in their shells
- A handful of change (pennies, nickels) from a large fishbowl/change jar.
- Art supplies including…
- Crayons
- Markers
- Stickers
- Colored pencils
- Colored chalk
- Erasers and pencil toppers
- Individually wrapped sticks of modeling clay
- Silly putty, slinkies, or mood rings
- Toothbrushes
- Rulers
- Noisemakers & other party favors (i.e. whistles)
- Bubbles and wands
- Pony Tail Holders (for girls)
Any other ideas?
